FileUtils
¶ ↑Namespace for several file utility methods for copying, moving, removing, etc.
require 'fileutils' FileUtils.cd(dir, options) FileUtils.cd(dir, options) {|dir| block } FileUtils.pwd() FileUtils.mkdir(dir, options) FileUtils.mkdir(list, options) FileUtils.mkdir_p(dir, options) FileUtils.mkdir_p(list, options) FileUtils.rmdir(dir, options) FileUtils.rmdir(list, options) FileUtils.ln(target, link, options) FileUtils.ln(targets, dir, options) FileUtils.ln_s(target, link, options) FileUtils.ln_s(targets, dir, options) FileUtils.ln_sf(target, link, options) FileUtils.cp(src, dest, options) FileUtils.cp(list, dir, options) FileUtils.cp_r(src, dest, options) FileUtils.cp_r(list, dir, options) FileUtils.mv(src, dest, options) FileUtils.mv(list, dir, options) FileUtils.rm(list, options) FileUtils.rm_r(list, options) FileUtils.rm_rf(list, options) FileUtils.install(src, dest, options) FileUtils.chmod(mode, list, options) FileUtils.chmod_R(mode, list, options) FileUtils.chown(user, group, list, options) FileUtils.chown_R(user, group, list, options) FileUtils.touch(list, options)
The options
parameter is a hash of options, taken from the list :force
, :noop
, :preserve
, and :verbose
. :noop
means that no changes are made. The other three are obvious. Each method documents the options that it honours.
All methods that have the concept of a “source” file or directory can take either one file or a list of files in that argument. See the method documentation for examples.
There are some `low level' methods, which do not accept any option:
FileUtils.copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = false) FileUtils.copy_file(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = true) FileUtils.copy_stream(srcstream, deststream) FileUtils.remove_entry(path, force = false) FileUtils.remove_entry_secure(path, force = false) FileUtils.remove_file(path, force = false) FileUtils.compare_file(path_a, path_b) FileUtils.compare_stream(stream_a, stream_b) FileUtils.uptodate?(file, cmp_list)
FileUtils::Verbose
¶ ↑This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but it outputs messages before acting. This equates to passing the :verbose
flag to methods in FileUtils
.
FileUtils::NoWrite
¶ ↑This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but never changes files/directories. This equates to passing the :noop
flag to methods in FileUtils
.
FileUtils::DryRun
¶ ↑This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but never changes files/directories. This equates to passing the :noop
and :verbose
flags to methods in FileUtils
.
Changes the current directory to the directory dir
.
If this method is called with block, resumes to the old working directory after the block execution finished.
FileUtils.cd('/', :verbose => true) # chdir and report it FileUtils.cd('/') do # chdir # ... # do something end # return to original directory
# File fileutils.rb, line 120 def cd(dir, verbose: nil, &block) # :yield: dir fu_output_message "cd #{dir}" if verbose Dir.chdir(dir, &block) fu_output_message 'cd -' if verbose and block end
Changes permission bits on the named files (in list
) to the bit pattern represented by mode
.
mode
is the symbolic and absolute mode can be used.
Absolute mode is
FileUtils.chmod 0755, 'somecommand' FileUtils.chmod 0644, %w(my.rb your.rb his.rb her.rb) FileUtils.chmod 0755, '/usr/bin/ruby', :verbose => true
Symbolic mode is
FileUtils.chmod "u=wrx,go=rx", 'somecommand' FileUtils.chmod "u=wr,go=rr", %w(my.rb your.rb his.rb her.rb) FileUtils.chmod "u=wrx,go=rx", '/usr/bin/ruby', :verbose => true

Changes permission bits on the named files (in list
) to the bit pattern represented by mode
.

Changes owner and group on the named files (in list
) to the user user
and the group group
. user
and group
may be an ID (Integer/String) or a name (String). If user
or group
is nil, this method does not change the attribute.
FileUtils.chown 'root', 'staff', '/usr/local/bin/ruby' FileUtils.chown nil, 'bin', Dir.glob('/usr/bin/*'), :verbose => true
# File fileutils.rb, line 961 def chown(user, group, list, noop: nil, verbose: nil) list = fu_list(list) fu_output_message sprintf('chown %s %s', (group ? "#{user}:#{group}" : user || ':'), list.join(' ')) if verbose return if noop uid = fu_get_uid(user) gid = fu_get_gid(group) list.each do |path| Entry_.new(path).chown uid, gid end end
Changes owner and group on the named files (in list
) to the user user
and the group group
recursively. user
and group
may be an ID (Integer/String) or a name (String). If user
or group
is nil, this method does not change the attribute.
FileUtils.chown_R 'www', 'www', '/var/www/htdocs' FileUtils.chown_R 'cvs', 'cvs', '/var/cvs', :verbose => true
# File fileutils.rb, line 985 def chown_R(user, group, list, noop: nil, verbose: nil, force: nil) list = fu_list(list) fu_output_message sprintf('chown -R%s %s %s', (force ? 'f' : ''), (group ?

Returns true if the contents of a file a
and a file b
are identical.

# File fileutils.rb, line 727 def compare_file(a, b) return false unless File.size(a) == File.size(b) File.open(a, 'rb') {|fa| File.open(b, 'rb') {|fb| return compare_stream(fa, fb) } } end
Returns true if the contents of a stream a
and b
are identical.

Copies a file system entry src
to dest
. If src
is a directory, this method copies its contents recursively. This method preserves file types, c.f. symlink, directory… (FIFO, device files and etc. are not supported yet)
Both of src
and dest
must be a path name. src
must exist, dest
must not exist.
If preserve
is true, this method preserves owner, group, and modified time. Permissions are copied regardless preserve
.
If dereference_root
is true, this method dereference tree root.
If remove_destination
is true, this method removes each destination file before copy.
# File fileutils.rb, line 414 def copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).wrap_traverse(proc do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) File.unlink destent.path if remove_destination && (File.file?(destent.path) || File.symlink?(destent.path)) ent.copy destent.path end, proc do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) ent.copy_metadata destent.path if preserve end) end
Copies file contents of src
to dest
. Both of src
and dest
must be a path name.
# File fileutils.rb, line 430 def copy_file(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = true) ent = Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference) ent.copy_file dest ent.copy_metadata dest if preserve end
Copies stream src
to dest
. src
must respond to read(n) and dest
must respond to write(str).
# File fileutils.rb, line 442 def copy_stream(src, dest) IO.copy_stream(src, dest) end
Copies a file content src
to dest
. If dest
is a directory, copies src
to dest/src
.
If src
is a list of files, then dest
must be a directory.
FileUtils.cp 'eval.c', 'eval.c.org' FileUtils.cp %w(cgi.rb complex.rb date.rb), '/usr/lib/ruby/1.6' FileUtils.cp %w(cgi.rb complex.rb date.rb), '/usr/lib/ruby/1.6', :verbose => true FileUtils.cp 'symlink', 'dest' # copy content, "dest" is not a symlink

Copies src
to dest
. If src
is a directory, this method copies all its contents recursively. If dest
is a directory, copies src
to dest/src
.
src
can be a list of files.

If src
is not same as dest
, copies it and changes the permission mode to mode
. If dest
is a directory, destination is dest
/src
. This method removes destination before copy.

In the first form, creates a hard link link
which points to target
. If link
already exists, raises Errno::EEXIST. But if the :force option is set, overwrites link
.
FileUtils.ln 'gcc', 'cc', verbose: true FileUtils.ln '/usr/bin/emacs21', '/usr/bin/emacs'
In the second form, creates a link dir/target
pointing to target
. In the third form, creates several hard links in the directory dir
, pointing to each item in targets
. If dir
is not a directory, raises Errno::ENOTDIR.
FileUtils.cd '/sbin' FileUtils.ln %w(cp mv mkdir), '/bin' # Now /sbin/cp and /bin/cp are linked.
# File fileutils.rb, line 285 def ln(src, dest, force: nil, noop: nil, verbose: nil) fu_output_message "ln#{force ? ' -f' : ''} #{[src,dest].flatten.join ' '}" if verbose return if noop fu_each_src_dest0(src, dest) do |s,d| remove_file d, true if force File.link s, d end end
In the first form, creates a symbolic link link
which points to target
. If link
already exists, raises Errno::EEXIST. But if the :force option is set, overwrites link
.
FileUtils.ln_s '/usr/bin/ruby', '/usr/local/bin/ruby' FileUtils.ln_s 'verylongsourcefilename.c', 'c', force: true
In the second form, creates a link dir/target
pointing to target
. In the third form, creates several symbolic links in the directory dir
, pointing to each item in targets
. If dir
is not a directory, raises Errno::ENOTDIR.
FileUtils.ln_s Dir.glob('/bin/*.rb'), '/home/foo/bin'
# File fileutils.rb, line 318 def ln_s(src, dest, force: nil, noop: nil, verbose: nil) fu_output_message "ln -s#{force ? 'f' : ''} #{[src,dest].flatten.join ' '}" if verbose return if noop fu_each_src_dest0(src, dest) do |s,d| remove_file d, true if force File.symlink s, d end end

FileUtils.ln_s(*args, force: true)
# File fileutils.rb, line 339 def ln_sf(src, dest, noop: nil, verbose: nil) ln_s src, dest, force: true, noop: noop, verbose: verbose end
Creates one or more directories.
FileUtils.mkdir 'test' FileUtils.mkdir %w( tmp data ) FileUtils.mkdir 'notexist', :noop => true # Does not really create. FileUtils.mkdir 'tmp', :mode => 0700
# File fileutils.rb, line 162 def mkdir(list, mode: nil, noop: nil, verbose: nil) list = fu_list(list) fu_output_message "mkdir #{mode ? ('-m %03o ' % mode) : ''}#{list.join ' '}" if verbose return if noop list.each do |dir| fu_mkdir dir, mode end end
Creates a directory and all its parent directories. For example,
FileUtils.mkdir_p '/usr/local/lib/ruby'
causes to make following directories, if it does not exist.
/usr
/usr/local
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/ruby
You can pass several directories at a time in a list.
# File fileutils.rb, line 188 def mkdir_p(list, mode: nil, noop: nil, verbose: nil) list = fu_list(list) fu_output_message "mkdir -p #{mode ? ('-m %03o ' % mode) : ''}#{list.join ' '}" if verbose return *list if noop list.map {|path| remove_trailing_slash(path)}.each do |path| # optimize for the most common case begin fu_mkdir path, mode next rescue SystemCallError next if File.directory?(path) end stack = [] until path == stack.last # dirname("/")=="/", dirname("C:/")=="C:/" stack.push path path = File.dirname(path) end stack.pop # root directory should exist stack.reverse_each do |dir| begin fu_mkdir dir, mode rescue SystemCallError raise unless File.directory?(dir) end end end return *list end
Moves file(s) src
to dest
. If file
and dest
exist on the different disk partition, the file is copied then the original file is removed.
FileUtils.mv 'badname.rb', 'goodname.rb' FileUtils.mv 'stuff.rb', '/notexist/lib/ruby', :force => true # no error FileUtils.mv %w(junk.txt dust.txt), '/home/foo/.trash/' FileUtils.mv Dir.glob('test*.rb'), 'test', :noop => true, :verbose => true

Removes a directory dir
and its contents recursively. This method ignores StandardError if force
is true.
# File fileutils.rb, line 716 def remove_dir(path, force = false) remove_entry path, force # FIXME?? check if it is a directory end
This method removes a file system entry path
. path
might be a regular file, a directory, or something. If path
is a directory, remove it recursively.
See also remove_entry_secure.
# File fileutils.rb, line 688 def remove_entry(path, force = false) Entry_.new(path).postorder_traverse do |ent| begin ent.remove rescue raise unless force end end rescue raise unless force end
This method removes a file system entry path
. path
shall be a regular file, a directory, or something. If path
is a directory, remove it recursively. This method is required to avoid TOCTTOU (time-of-check-to-time-of-use) local security vulnerability of rm_r. rm_r causes security hole when:
Parent directory is world writable (including /tmp).
Removing directory tree includes world writable directory.
The system has symbolic link.
To avoid this security hole, this method applies special preprocess. If path
is a directory, this method chown(2) and chmod(2) all removing directories. This requires the current process is the owner of the removing whole directory tree, or is the super user (root).
WARNING: You must ensure that ALL parent directories cannot be moved by other untrusted users. For example, parent directories should not be owned by untrusted users, and should not be world writable except when the sticky bit set.
WARNING: Only the owner of the removing directory tree, or Unix super user (root) should invoke this method. Otherwise this method does not work.
For details of this security vulnerability, see Perl's case:
For fileutils.rb, this vulnerability is reported in [ruby-dev:26100].

is a directory, removes its all contents recursively. This method ignores StandardError when :force option is set.
FileUtils.rm_r Dir.glob('/tmp/*') FileUtils.rm_r 'some_dir', :force => true
WARNING: This method causes local vulnerability if one of parent directories or removing directory tree are world writable (including /tmp, whose permission is 1777), and the current process has strong privilege such as Unix super user (root), and the system has symbolic link. For secure removing, read the documentation of remove_entry_secure carefully, and set :secure option to true. Default is :secure=>false.
NOTE: This method calls remove_entry_secure if :secure option is set. See also remove_entry_secure.
